The Dell USB-C Mobile Adapter (DA310) sounds dull in name, and could maybe find itself at the business end of a wider audience if it went with something like the Port Puck 9000. However, corporate marketing exists and here we are. Thankfully, Dell’s adapter/hub proves to be a solidly useful device — ideally suited to those who need ports, power, and portability in equal measure.Dell’s prior iteration of this USB-C hub (DA300) previously secured a place on our list of the best USB Type-C hubs available today, and there’s now a worthy successor to take its spot. So what is…

Did you know 1 in 5 Americans wear a smartwatch daily? Wearable technology usage has skyrocketed over the last few years, experiencing a 100% jump from 2016 to 2019. The global wearable tech market was valued at $61.3 billion in 2022 and is expected to grow 14% from 2023 to 2030. Consumers are increasingly comfortable wearing connected technology to track and monitor their health and fitness, from smartwatches to AirPods to cardiovascular monitors. As 74% of Americans are overweight, and 60% have a chronic health condition, these wearable monitors provide peace of mind, motivation, and more immediate access to medical information. Within the wearable technology category, there…
For a long time, extracellular vesicles (EVs) were often thought of as garbage bags containing a myriad of materials that cells don’t need. But scientists have since learned that EVs are instrumental in various biological activities from homeostasis and cell-cell communication to cancer progression. University of Delaware molecular biologist Mona Batish likened them to FedEx envelopes. “They’re addressed envelopes containing handpicked materials with specific addresses they go to; this is a way cells talk to one another,” Batish said. “For example, if a cell got infected with a virus, it would release material into EVs, which will be taken up…
Who wants to play full-power PC games on a Chromebook? At least a few people, presumably, since Google and its manufacturing partners have made “gaming Chromebooks” for a year or so. But with some screen upgrades and RGB keyboards, these machines are very clearly intended to be used with cloud services like GeForce Now, Xbox Game Pass, and Google’s own ill-fated Stadia. It looks like more conventional gaming laptops, complete with dedicated graphics cards, were in the pipeline. Unfortunately, they’ve now been unceremoniously axed in the early development process. The news comes via developer commentary on Google’s public Chromium Gerrit.…
Cesar Cadenas/ZDNETPeople like MacBooks. But why? Well, there are many different reasons, but in my experience, people tend to mention the same four: good performance, great features, and compact design topped off with a long-lasting battery. PC manufacturers have rolled out their own rendition of Apple’s MacBook throughout the years as they attempt to emulate that style of computer. The Asus Zenbook 14X comes close as it has good performance, great features, and a compact design with just passable battery life. It only lasts 10 hours on a single charge, max. By comparison, the MacBook Air can last a good…
For those that have been eyeing an AMD Ryzen 7 7040 “Phoenix” series laptop for Linux use, over the coming weeks ahead there will be benchmarks and a review on the Lenovo ThinkPad P14s Gen4 with AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 7840U laptop. With this 8-core / 16-thread Zen 4 mobile processor clocking up to 5.1GHz, 64GB of LPDDR5x-6400 memory, 1TB NVMe SSD, and 2.8K OLED display it should be a real treat if the Linux support is all in good shape. Given the great results so far from the Ryzen 7 7840U Zen 4 processor with the Acer Swift Edge…
Matthew Miller/ZDNETThanks to my role here at ZDNET, I have the opportunity to evaluate an extensive number of wearables, from ones made for outdoor adventures to ones for golfing. Naturally, it’s always tough to figure out — with a new watch on my wrist every other week — which is my go-to wearable. Review: Watch out, Apple. Garmin’s Enduro 2 is the ultra sports watch to beatThat changed with the Garmin Enduro 2which was released last summer and continues to be one of the very rare devices that I have used daily for an entire year.

As the foldable market matures, manufacturers are looking for a way to offer more affordable versions of their phones. Motorola had first shot this year with its Motorola Razr 40 but Samsung is sticking to its single Galaxy Z Flip and Fold yearly releases for now. That’s about to change next year, according to a report by Revegnus – a tipster who shared some spicy info regarding Samsung’s upcoming camera sensors. After the Galaxy Z Fold6 and Z Flip6 next year, Samsung is looking to release Fan Edition versions of the duo. That doesn’t mean they are going to be…
